The SO has just come back from shopping and has bought a pair of shoes
in dark brown. We were discussing them and agreed that they would be
better in black. Apparently they were the only pair though etc etc.

Anyway, I seem to remember that if you polish brown shoes with black
polish they go black or at least darken to the point where you can't
tell the difference. Can someone confirm this or maybe tell me some
other way to do it?

Thanks
Graham

mrs RT used dylon shoe paint on a pair of new boots. they were brown and
she wanted them black, I cautioned against it saying she'd ruin them but I
was proved wrong, they look fine.

I caution you to let them air fully before weaaring them in company. The
odour is very strong, as I found to my cost many years ago.

Are you familiar with the expression " dicing with death"?

It's a trap - don't get involved!

A question for Doctor Drivel. He has a fixation about yellow De Walt boots
even although they are black. And must know about dying things for his
tango dancing in tutus.
